The Yogi government has received a big blow from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has stayed the government’s decision. Recently, in view of Sawan, the Yogi government asked shops, dhabas and hotels along the Kanwar Yatra routes to write down the names of their respective owners. A hearing was held in the Supreme Court on Monday on this order of the Yogi government. After the hearing, the Supreme Court has put a stay on this decision of the UP government.
The Supreme Court says that no shopkeeper needs to write the name, but the information about the type of food item has to be written. Means whether the food item is veg or non-veg. Shopkeepers have to provide this information. After the decision of the Supreme Court where on one hand some shopkeepers have started removing their name plates, on the other hand some say that now whatever name is written is written. No more name change. We are happy with the decision of the Supreme Court, but what is the need to change the name again and again. So far no statement has come from the government and administration in this matter. District officials are also avoiding to say anything about this.
RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary protested
Even the leaders of Rashtriya Lok Dal, the allies of the government, are not happy with this decision of the Yogi government. In this matter, many senior leaders of Rashtriya Lok Dal termed the government’s decision as wrong. National President of Rashtriya Lok Dal and Minister of State with Independent Charge in Central Government Jayant Chaudhary, who reached Muzaffarnagar on Sunday, opposed this decision of the government. Jayant Chaudhary directly said that this decision was not taken after thinking, but a sudden decision. Government should think about this.
‘The written name will not go away’ – said the shopkeeper
In Muzaffarnagar today, shopkeepers removed the name plate boards from their shops. Meanwhile, some shopkeepers said that we have no problem in registering the name, but this is the decision of the Supreme Court, which we respect. Shamim Saifi Tea Stall and Shree Bala G Canteen have been built together in Rana Chowk, Muzaffarnagar. Balaji canteen owner Narendra Kashyap says that the Supreme Court has its own decision. We wrote the names on the instructions of the police. Now the name will be written like this.
Name change affected work – Nasir
While Nisar Phalwala says that writing the name was affecting his work. Better not. Arif says he has not faced any problem, but has now removed the placard of his name from the cart after the Supreme Court ban. Paan seller Shah Alam has also removed his name board from outside his shop. He says that the interim stay imposed by the Supreme Court is a big relief.
What did Kanwaria say on the government’s decision?
While Shamim says the court’s order will be respected, the name will be spelled this way for now. If there is any problem in writing the name, the name will be removed. Sawan month has started from today. Kanwariyas are starting to appear on the road. When he was discussed about the Yogi government’s decision, he said that the name should be written outside the shops. The government’s decision is correct.
